If 2K isn't even invented yet, what do you think?

There's plenty of 2K monitors out there. They're just expensive. I don't know what you mean by it not being invented.
Here's one higher than 2K: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6824176242

I doubt they even know what "2k" means.
Sadly, I no longer have the PM's from the "that guy." What I remember is that he was hardcore Ocean Dub fan and say one bad thing and the wrath of God would descend upon you.

I thought I was going to see a screen 100"+ through that link for sale but it's a small 27" screen.

Other than the huge 2K resolution, the screen is still small for me.

The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Why do people flip the image on youtube? I've seen this and always wondered why they do it.

People that flip DBZ videos do so for two reasons. The first reason people do it is it's a way to get around youtube's video detection system that scans the video to see if the video has content similar to a copyrighted work that's in the detection systems database as a means to stop copyright infringement. The second reason people do this is they use flipped videos as a way to try and hinder copyright claims from the copyright holders under the claim that the flipped video being uploaded falls under "Fair Use" even though it's in a way still copyright infringement. Hope this helps explain why some people flip their DBZ videos on youtube.
If anyone has any of the DB/DBZ/DBGT or Maho Tsuaki Sally Japanese single DVD's that they'd be interested in selling send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out. ;).

Not really because either way the fact still stands that the flipped DBZ video being uploaded is still copyrighted work that can still legally be taken down at the copyright holder's discretion, sure people can try to claim that just because the video is flipped they can post it and claim fair use but in reality that's not the case.

How exactly would that fall under fair use? It's not like an AMV or anything, it's the real, licensed property, just flipped image.
So mondo lame.

I know what you mean but if you watch a few flipped DBZ videos in the description you'll notice that in quite a few of these videos the poster says something along these lines "Mirrored to avoid copyright infringement" basicly implying that their upload falls under fair use just because of this fact which it doesn't.

ZSuperBrolyZ has to be IMO the worst out of all of them.

The saturation....
